If at first you dont succeed...
Let's talk.
You know when your whole body is exhausted? When everything in you is screaming for sleep but it just doesn't come? When your mind is racing and won't shut off and apparently you are so not an ocean sounds kind of person.
I'm not a morning person. I am also not a night person. I am, to paraphrase a meme I saw online once, a constantly exhausted pigeon. Basically, the sloth is my spirit animal. If I could sleep a million hours a day and move very slowly, I would.
But today. Today, I got up at 6am. Mostly to do the dishes I told the boyfriend i would do last night and chose not to, and partly because I had to be up early for an appointment anyway. I got up, did the dishes, took my shower, and left on my way. Usually, after getting up so early, I would take a nap later in the day. Did I mention I love naps? Sleep, really. But I got no nap today. Today, I went to work right after. Came home, made dinner, snuggled with my dogs and figured i would end up just passing out.
I am full of energy. Here it is, 10:40 PM and still wide awake.
The past week I have eaten healthy. We are talking salads, good proteins, few carbs, lots of water. Basically things that my body has probably been craving for, oh I dont know, 30 of my 33 years of life. I'm sure this has at least a little to.do with the late night energy.
I've done this before. Started a blog, got healthy, exercised, etc. I've also failed at it. Big time. But here I am again. Trying again. Because that's what you do. When you want something, you try. If you fail, you try again. You try again and again until you succeed.
Here's to dusting myself off and trying again.
